Oh good God I can't unsee that shit now.

Pink Flamingos - Eggs Eggs Eggs

Yup, burned in there forever.

The way they referred to God in Persona made me slightly uncomfortable because I was raised Jewish, and we were always told "That's the true name of God, you're never supposed to write or say it".

This is especially weird considering it's also a franchise which lets you summon Satan (didn't really bother me) and shoot yourself in the head (only bothered me when people responded with "PERSONA" after people actually committed suicide that way).

I think the most important thing to remember about religion is that you should always honour what it tries to teach and make you think about, rather than paying attention to all of the niggling little rules and laws people make about it.

Doing the former? Gets pretty cool guys. Doing the later? Gets people using the book to justify their homophobia.

I've never beaten a 2D Mario game legitimately. I always used warp zones and stuff.

It took me several years to realize Link's pink hair in LttP wasn't just part of his hat.

Chrono Trigger is the only game that ever got me close to shedding manly tears.

>>169568
Not even Yoshi? Or does that not really count? As beautiful and fun as it was, it was also pretty damn easy.

>>169570
Yeah, it took me a while to even believe that they would let you eat the Super Happy Tree's fruit like that.

>>169566
Well, the homophobic parts I always abjectly refused to agree with. It's just the "don't use that word" part got drilled into my head, for whatever reason.

>>169570
I've never played Yoshi, except for Yoshi's Island DS which was...ok.

One time my Angel died in Monster Rancher and I cried and then I realized that I could reload the save state before she died and freeze her in stasis forever so I never had to lose her.

That has to be one of the few times I wanted a port and instead it was just... ok.

>>169592
Apparently you're still clinging to it so much you triple posted.

>>169568
Always use warp zones, too.

I like Magic the Gathering and Warhammer 40K for their lore. I've always been terrible at Magic and I've never bought a Warhammer figure ever.

Isn't Awakening basically a dating sim?

When I saw people discussing it its always over who they married or who they paired up with who.

Though they prefer to refer to it as a 'Eugenics Simulator'

>>171176
Awakening just places a bigger emphasis on the character supports than most games in the series, since it brings back the marriage system from FE4. 2/5 of the game's major units are kids obtained through marrying people off. Parents stats and skills affect the kids so it's a whole new layer of strategy. Hence Eugenics Simulator.

I've never enjoyed the breakable weapons gameplay mechanic in FE games (does that count as a confession?)

I trust Forbes when it comes to games more than actual game journalism sources.

It's weird it's almost like it's not some scheme to promote some video game company but be impartial about video games.

I liked Twilight Princess. It's my second favorite 3D Zelda.

I have a terrible habit of 95%-to-100% games to the point where I've done 'everything' but the most inane shit (fuck catching frogs). Every time I do this, I have 'completed' the game and can't bring myself to start the game all over again.

I can't even start a new Saints Row the Third game because I already did everything on one character except all the barn stormings and stunt jumps. Which is really sad, because SRTT was fun as a ballpit with hidden pockets of psychedelic mushrooms under all the balls. But every part I'll just be mentally replaying about 30 seconds ahead of myself. It's irritating.

>>171839

I don't think you're supposed to enjoy it?

>>171889
I tend to often play a game to completion in a couple of days then need a new one.

I actually ran two playthroughs of Saints Row the Third, one as my main playthrough then a second game as a Female Boss making all the opposite choices I made in the first playthrough
I completed all the stuff in the first one apart from like you said the barnstorming and stunt jumps because those things are pointless

>>171890
I never enjoy when namefags on the internet are sarcastically pedantic to me

>>I HATE the breakable weapons gameplay mechanic in FE games

Is that better?

It's just a resource management thing, keeps you from constantly abusing the super weapons.

>>171892
This one aspect actually turns me off of all of Armored Core V

What do you mean there are different classes of what is exactly the same gun? And I have to manage the multiple copies in my inventory, I can't just swap this gun for the best version of the gun? Or you know, just fix the one I have and make it better since they're the same model regardless of grade?

I confess, I will let completely tiny, arbitrary things ruin games for me just because I feel they're so jarring to the experience.

Man... the Dead Space series got so retarded as it continued.

>>174001
I find that's true for most large scale horror.

My confession is I've gotten so retarded, and I can't play complicated games anymore.
Like the Civ series or other nation-strategy games, I'll get far in but then it turns out I've not built up my army sufficicently or whatever so whenone of the biggest dogs gets pissed off at me I get steamrolled and I get frustrated and uninstall the game.

Not a huge confession, but I used to watch a lot of dubbed anime as a kid. Very little patience for subtitles back then, lack of streaming sites, lack of money, the sub-only crowd got on my nerves.

This is relevant to video games because it makes Borderlands 2 ten times funnier, recognizing all the VA's from one anime or another.

>>178544
Don't the same VA's basically do the majority of dubbed anime in English?

>>178867
Yep. Pretty much everyone's from Funimation.

The only online multiplayer experience I've ever had is when a roommate had me play unranked Halo 3 matches with him.

Chrono Cross is terrible, its basically fanfic-tier but made into an actual thing.

This is less a confession and more stating a fact I know but I just played through Trigger again and it reminded me how pointlessly stupid the 'sequel' is.

I've only beaten the remakes of SMB1 through World. In case you didn't know, those 4 games get progressively easier every time they're remade, especially in the case of the GBA versions which added numerous small gameplay changes to SMB2 and SMB3. I just can't go back to the 8-bit versions of the original trilogy after those experiences.

>>185433
I love Chrono Cross and I don't get why people shit on it. Boo-hoo, so it's not a direct continuation. You might as well complain FF8 doesn't pick up where FF7 left off.

Well, no, because Final fantasy games aren't sequels of one another (unless you're talking about the actual sequel games like FFX-2 or Lightning Returns). They're set in different worlds and have totally unrelated stories.

Chrono Cross, on the other hand, is a sequel to Chrono Trigger. They're set in the same world, and Cross makes a lot of references back to Trigger. In the DS rerelease of Trigger, the bonus dungeon they added makes references forward to Cross, as well. It's a really BAD sequel, but it is certainly a sequel.

There's also the fact that Cross's plot taken on it's own merits is dumber than a bag of hammers.

>>187009
>Well, no, because Final fantasy games aren't sequels of one another

Think of how many people were new to Final Fantasy, FF7 being the first game that was so mainstream, not knowing the general premise behind each game. You think they were disappointed thinking FF8 wasn't a direct sequel?

And why the hell does everybody want a sequel to Trigger when Trigger fucking ended? There is NO REASON to have anything but references to what happened before, because everything is resolved. I'd rather have a good game set in the same universe, expanding on the only things that needed to be expanded upon than something like Crimson Echoes where they pull something out of their collective asses to have an excuse for the characters to be back and it reads like bad fanfiction.

>>187008
Honestly your comparison is more apt than you probably want it to be: FF8 being a bad sequel is a bad reason to hate it, but FF8 being a terrible game with ties to a much better game sure makes it look worse.

>Think of how many people were new to Final Fantasy, FF7 being the first game that was so mainstream, not knowing the general premise behind each game. You think they were disappointed thinking FF8 wasn't a direct sequel?

And that has what to do with the price of fish, exactly? Final Fantasy 8 still isn't a sequel in any way, nor was it advertised as such. Meanwhile, Chrono Cross is a sequel, and was advertised as such (and as a much more direct sequel than it actually is).

>And why the hell does everybody want a sequel to Trigger when Trigger fucking ended? There is NO REASON to have anything but references to what happened before, because everything is resolved.

I agree. But since what we have IS a sequel and not just a totally separate game in the same universe (for fuck's sake, the Time Devourer is Lavos fused with Schala), it's only fair to judge it as a sequel. And as a sequel, it sucks balls.

I have never beaten a Zelda game. Ever. I get frustrated at one part or I drop the game for a long time and forgot about it and had to restart it.

>>187008
Everything you just said was wrong, FF8 wasn't a sequel to FF7 in any way in that there was no awful writing trying to connect the two games, instead its a completely separate universes.

Also the story for CC is shit in general, and the battle mechanics are inferior to CT.

>>187010
FF8 is still a better sequel to FF than Cross was to Trigger.

Anybody that play FF7 knew that the series never had direct sequels. But they all FF games share the same basic traits. The very similar, if not the very same: battle mechanics, monster, items, spells, story themes/setting. Anyone that thought FF8 was going to be a same FF7

Chrono Cross has hair-thin ties to Trigger. Besides from a handful of references and forced fanservice, you wouldn't have any clue that that it was part of series.

I genuinely think Cole Phelps is the least likeable video game protagonist of all time.

>>187010
>everything is resolved
No it wasn't. Schala was still missing (though Cross covered this one) and we were no closer to discovering the identity of the Entity.

I'm not saying those are mysteries that absolutely *need* to be solved, but they were certainly dangling plot threads that a sequel could easily work from--and in Cross's case, did.

That said, I think the real thing people want is a spiritual sequel to Chrono Trigger. Something that feels the way Chrono Trigger made them feel way back when. It's like how Terranigma is considered a "sequel" to Illusion of Gaia even though the elements linking them are even more tenuous than Final Fantasy's--Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, and Terranigma all have the same "spirit," so to speak. And I think that's what people are REALLY saying they want when they say they want a Chrono Trigger sequel, though even THEY might not realize that's what they actually want.

>>187045
>Besides from a handful of references and forced fanservice, you wouldn't have any clue that that it was part of series.
As much as people (both those who liked and hated the game) would like to believe this, it's just not the case. Literally the entire ending part of the game doesn't make any sense (or at least, less sense by CC standards) without knowledge of Trigger.

>>187058
>Literally the entire ending part of the game doesn't make any sense without knowledge of Trigger.

The ending made it's connection to Trigger through several scenes of information dumping. Stuff like Lavos and Schala had so little bearing in the story-plot itself, they could of easily been written out and have the end boss be a freak of nature created by or for all the time-travel experiments.

>>187064
That's still basically admitting that the game has no real ending without the attachment to Chrono Trigger. And if you tried to write out Schala, wouldn't you have to write out Kid?

>>187065
The end boss is the fusion of a time-altering monster and a powerful magic-user during a unnatural space-time. And Kidd is the clone of that person trapped inside the monster. Their names were pretty irrelevant until just before you have to fight it. And the game didn't have much of a ending even with CT.
The narrative was poor for Serge having no drive to move the plot but just be dragged along into smaller, unrelated conflicts until the plot kicked him in the gut a few times.
